Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is ascribed the date 1319-23 by Fraser (Northumberland Petitions, pp.67-8) based on the dates of Fenwick's period as sheriff. Although he did have a second term as sheriff from 1325-7, there is no reason to question this date, and no evidence to date it more precisely.
